MSG Week

Hi, this week I will go a bit off topic and talk about MSG in food. One of my friends gets extremely sick if she eats MSG and others I know get sick also.

MSG stand for mono sodium glutamate. It is a flavor enhancer that can make some people very ill and not bother others the same way.

GO ALICE, an Internet resource from Columbia University, lists several other words to look out for incase you should not eat the MSG food additive. These are: hydrolyzed protein,
sodium caseinate, calcium caseinate, autolyzed yeast and yeast extract. There may be other names as well.
